What it does

The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to extend the refundable portion of the child tax credit to residents of Puerto Rico, who are currently excluded from receiving it. It modifies Section 24(d)(1) to include Puerto Rico residents under the same treatment as those in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and adjusts the calculation of the refundable credit by altering how Social Security taxes are considered in the formula. These changes would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, aiming to provide more equitable tax treatment for families in Puerto Rico.
